Selfworth

Jaune was never a popular kid, okay maybe that’s an understatement. He was never liked, the only friends he had, well could you really call sisters friends? He did at least, it was all he really had anyways. But now, now was different, he had Ren and Nora, and although they WERE his brother and sister, well he was just happy to have them.

It had already been a few weeks since they started training, and this was the first time that Nora and Ren had been willing to leave the house. Jaune thought it was a good idea to finally show Ren and Nora around. Though he hoped, that they’d be able to avoid running into any of the other kids. He didn’t need them to know how uncool he was. Every so often, he’d find himself searching from side to side, looking and paying attention for any one possibly seeing him.

Ren, being Ren had noticed this, when Jaune felt a hand on his shoulder he jumped up in surprise. Causing Ren and Nora to give him looks of curiosity, but also a hint of worry.

“Is everything okay Jauney?” The worry in Nora’s voice was obvious, and Jaune hated it, they had just started warming up and he was making things worse.

“Yeah, ya I’m fine Nora, sorry for worrying you. I just...” Before he could finish though, a voice that resembling nails on a chalkboard invaded their hearing.

“Well if it ain’t little J!” The noise, or voice rather, came from a rather large child. If one didn’t know better one would think he was a tiny Ursa. He was tall, easily twice as tall as Jaune, and his arms were some how larger as well. And surrounding him, were a bunch of other children, not quite as tall as him.

Nora glanced over towards her new brother once she realized that he had started to shake. She didn’t like this, she didn’t like this at all. Whoever this punk was, he was upsetting Jaune.

“Whatcha doing out here pip-squeak, I thought I told ya not to show your face around here.” His attention however, was soon taken off of Jaune, and onto the newcomers. “The heck are you two looking at? Never seen ya brats around here.”

Nora and Ren decided to ignore him, and instead made their way over to Jaune. “You alright?” Ren’s soothing voice reached his ears, as his stupor came undone.

Jaune stared at his siblings and nodded, still unable to say anything. Whatever, it was that had happened before, it clearly bothered Jaune.

“Aww, is the baby going to cry? Do I need to put ya back in the locker, want to spend another night by yourself? Maybe it’ll help you grow a backbone! Don’t worry, this time we won’t have to fool ya with a fake love letter.” He paused and smiled, “Though I’d bet that Flanna would write another, just to mess with ya.” The laugh that followed, could be described as a snort and a chortle all at once. “Maybe we’ll give ya another shower to boot!”

This caused Jaune to shiver, he remembered that day. It was the day that he was betrayed by what would equate to a child hood friend. She had apparently put a love letter in his desk, and he would admit he was excited. Turned out it was a trap. They had dumped dirty mop water on him when he entered the school shed, he could still remember their laughter, he could remember her laughter! He had gotten sick for two weeks, while the kids involved had gotten suspended, this hadn’t sated his parents and they pulled him from school.

The bully was about to say something else, when he noticed Nora and Ren giving him rather ugly looks, and if looks could kill... “What, you punks got a problem with me?”

“I’m going to break your legs... I’m going to break them so badly, you’ll never walk again.” At this, the bullies began to laugh, Nora was about to approach them but Jaune grabbed her hand.

“It’s not worth it Nora, let’s just go... please?” He stared at Nora and Ren, the two of them ended up relenting. As the three of them were starting to walk away, however this angered Jaune’s tormenter.

With out warning he picked up a rock at his feet and threw it at Ren. This honestly wouldn’t have been an issue, and Ren was getting ready to dodge it. But he was suddenly pulled away by Jaune, as instincts took over, he used his head to crush the rock.

This caused the everyone to pause, even Nora and Ren. Who by all accounts shouldn’t have been surprised, they had been training with Jaune after all. The bullies froze when Jaune eyed them. “Don’t... don’t you EVER, think about hitting them! Do you understand?” He said as he walked towards them, his hand raised as he was about to hit them when he was suddenly stopped by Nora and Ren.

Their hands were now on his arms, turning back to them the looks of concern caused him to pause and stop. Releasing a breath, he turned back, right right he could have killed them he had Aura now. “Leave us alone.” When they were far enough, for the first time since they met Jaune, he gave out. His back now against a tree, tears began to form. He had obviously been scared, this entire time.

“Jaune?” He felt arms wrap around him as Ren pulled him into a tight hug, soon followed by Nora.

“We’re here with you okay?.” Nora’s voice was soft and full of concern.

Ren came next, “You’ve been there for us, so we’ll be there for you too.”

Silence soon permeated as Jaune’s body continued to shiver alone, he had hoped to forget all of those bad memories. Finally though, he felt better about himself, to Ren and Nora, he wasn’t worthless. He meant something, he had self worth.

______________________________________________________________

So I can gaurantee you that those guys will not show up in the future! Flanna may, but that’s for future Pyr to handle.

Also I’m thinking of doing a Monster Au, where a lone Dulluhan Jaune raises a human child. Along the way he meets an Orc and Elf duo, and a flame haired Centaur, though Pyrrha’s honestly pending.

Pyrrha is a centaur Yang is a Werewolf Ruby is a Harpy Weiss is a mermaid and Blake is technically a cat girl

A few of these I’m not sure about.

Pyrrha being a centaur, I’m iffy about. I’m not about to have Jaune fuck a horse. I’m not catering to that crowd.

I think Ruby would be a werewolf, as Yang I feel would be a dragon.

Blake being some sort of cat girl, I can understand. The question is, what type of cat girl?

But Weiss as a mermaid ... I can see it, and I can’t see it at the same time.

— ✹ heed the murmur ! the halls of sparta welcome ( achilles ) the ( hero ) of ( thessaly ). the bards tell us they are approaching ( 20 ) and strike a likeness to ( niels schneider ). their deeds precede them in the world — extolled to be ( charming, loyal & driven ) yet ( spoiled, shallow & irascible ) in their worst hour. when they enter a quiet room, shadows of ( a crown of curls, damp with sweat and crumpled from the press of a helmet; calloused fingers plucking a love song onto the metallic strings of a lyre; boyish laughter falling from wine-stained lips ) spring forward. their opinion about the marriage contest is a ( neutral ) one. their purpose at the spartan court falls in line with ( his pursuit of glory and renown ).

meet achilles (who am i kidding y’all already know him), born of perhaps the worst example of matchmaking the the history of the world and proud owner of the biggest ego ever

grew up in his father’s court at phthia under the shadow of the prophecy that he’d grow up to be greater than his father - prophecies are rarely wrong, and both achilles and peleus know it

thetis was not into having a human son, so she gave him a little dip in the river styx to try to make him invincible but forgot his ankle where she was holding him - the river made him harder to kill, but no less hard to wound. there is no cure for mortality.

childhood was sad boy hours (thetis went back to the sea, and the obsessive way he spent his formative years working at the sword was alienating to most of the other myrmidon boys)

enter patroclus light of achilles’ life

was trained further on mt pelion by the centaur chiron before returning home to his father’s court

he’s a young man obsessed with glory, with living up to the prophecies that foretell his greatness, it consumes him and dictates everything he does

he’s only got one brain cell (thetis wonders if they all fell out into the river styx when she dangled him in there) and as much as he’s an incredible warrior, he’s not the brightest boy in the world (sources: that huge sulk he had that killed tons of greeks, letting his mans go and fight hector, annoying literal gods left and right)

also thinks he can beat fate - wants nothing more to be both glorious and happy (oh boy,,,... oh boy,,)

loves to swim and play the lyre and ride his horse - he’s really just boy who’s pushed himself to grow up too fast

record holder for: worlds worst temper, most figs eaten in 5 minutes, most convincing myrmidon in a dress (shoutouts to pyrrha), most cities pillaged before the age of 20

d*scord is socratease#4960

APP PLOT POINTS:

✹ Suckled on salt and weaned on the tides, Achilles' mother has always had his ear. She tried her best to breed her hatred of what made her son mortal in him too, but she failed. His relationship with his mortality is one of pride, though a rocky pride that wavers in moments of fear. To be faced with both gods and mortals in the halls of Sparta will ask him to examine the nature of his blood, and decide if his mother might have been right all along. To be a god would be a wonderful thing, to be worshiped, venerated, carved in chryselephantine; he understands that as plainly as his mother speaks it with her watery tongue. But his mortality is what makes him human, what makes his deeds remarkable, what makes life, short as it is prophesied to be, worth living - it is the part that knows how scream like a child when things don’t go his way and how to love so deeply he bursts with it like an overripe fig underfoot. It is the part that lets him cry on the nights he misses his mother to the sea, and ache deep to his bones after a long day wielding sword, bow or spear. Petty things, these must be to gods, and Achilles has always feared seeming anything less than powerful.

✹ Achilles has no need for a Spartan bride - he has his own prize, one who Achilles claims has a face who could launch more than a thousand ships, and one he would never waver from, even for a daughter of Zeus. They say that Zeus halved people so they would have to find their matching piece, but Achilles will claim that he was missing more than half of himself in the months before the jewel of Opus came to Thessaly. The competition amuses him, however, as all of its kind do to a young man revels in victory, but he seeks only glory, not the prize itself. To put men so desperate to claw their way into Helen of Sparta’s marriage bed into their places will be amusing, he has already mused to Patroclus that he cannot wait to see the looks on their faces as they are beaten at their own games by a man, no, a myth, who doesn’t even care for the object of their affections. It will be interesting to see his interaction with those vying for Helen’s hand, especially when he thinks himself better than even the best of them.

✹ One day Achilles' name will fall from the lips of many for being the man who fought against the Trojans at Ilium. But now he has no qualms against them, he has no qualms against anyone, really, unless they invite that rotten temper of his (and they will, it is truly only a matter of time). He is curious, though he'd never admit it, to meet people from all around the known world - Trojans, Spartans, and everything in between. It all sounded more exciting to him than seeing only Myrmidons at his father's court, and for a young man who spends his days so obsessively training with sword and bow, a change of pace comes as welcome. A legend he may be, a story larger than life, but in reality he is a young man with a bad temper and wide eyes for the world. He is eager to know these strangers, to speak with them, perhaps even to spar with them (if they're lucky), so that they might carry his name, shrouded in glory, back to their homes.

If they are a mortal, what would they fight for ? What would they die for ?

Like a dog chained and taunted, Achilles aches for a chance to prove himself. He would fight for the mere chance for glory - all his life he has heard prophecies about his prowess, his skill, his invincibility, but they are not enough for him. He yearns to show people they are true, and that he is more, even, than the stories they tell about him. There are few things that Achilles feels he would go to war for on principle - he backs no king but his father, he is favored by no goddess over his mother, and neither of them are warmongers, but he is not so disillusioned as to think this will mean he will never don his horse-hair plumed helmet for war. Someone will offer him the honours and glory he wants one day, and when that day comes he will be ready.

His death, however, is another story. The history books should tell the stories of it for generations to come, he is sure of that, and thus he would only enter into a fight that could promise him that at its end. Steeped in the water of the Styx, he boasts himself to be invincible - that was the gift of his baptism, the rawest, most visceral proof of a mother’s love, but he knows he is human underneath all that. A body of flesh and bone, and all of those have to die some time. There is, of course, the matter of Patroclus - Achilles would fall on his sword if he was asked by those lips, he thinks. So perhaps he would die for him too, even if it locked him out of the annals for good. Some things, after all, are more important than glory, it just takes a young man like Achilles a little too long to recognise them.

— I also started a little aesthetic board here for him!

So, the appearance that servants take when summoned has always been spotty for me. Some appear as they did in the past, others take a "prefered" appearance like Da Vinci and Chiron (although he did it to hide his centaurness/identity), and others are elected to be a giant lion man. My question is, would it be possible to summon Achillies as Pyrrha? It is just a small part of the legend, but a part nonetheless!

Depends on if the Nasuverse only recognizes the Illiad as the source for Achilles, or if the Achilleid is counted as canon.

It would be cool, though I personally have my... doubts it would be handled properly in FGO

Day 5 0f 30 Days of Apollon

Members of the family – genealogical connections

Apollon is a twin, he has an older twin sister Artemis. His mother is Leto a Titaness, a goddess of motherhood and his father is the king of the Gods Zeus.

Although his stepmother Hera according to myth sent monsters after his mother Leto while she was pregnant with the twins so she will never find shelter, once the twins are born and declared Olympians she doesn’t seem to have a problem with them.

Obviously, there is a difference between myth and cultus (what people actually thought of the gods through religious experience) so this may not have happened

Through his father Zeus he has many other siblings, some that are also Olympians these are:
